FINE SUN SENSOR SYSTEM

CONFIGURATION

-NO. OF MEASUREMENT AXES: 1 (each sensor).

Note: The 2 sensors can be mounted orthogonally and together function as a 2-axis sun sensor.

NO OF SENSORS: 2 (additional sensors can be paralleled as long as their FOVs do not overlap).

HERITAGE

More than 100 systems flown

PARAMETERS

FIELD OF VIEW: 100° x 100° (each sensor).
ACCURACY: ±0.01° to ±0.05°
LSB SIZE: 0.001° to 0.004°

APPLICATIONS

High accuracy attitude determination
Payload instrument pointing
Yaw update of gyros
